So I finally was able to settle my mind long enough to really do the loving-kindness meditation and it well very well with a humorous ending. I typed "loving" into the search bar of my itunes and found it on the list. I did the practice quite well. I was able to really hold my husband in my heart in the first steps then for the second part, I thought of my 13yr old son who is being bullied. I concentrated on taking in his suffering and breathing out good kind thoughts. I actually visualized breathing in black smoke and breathing out white smoke. I felt like and emotional human filter.
The humorous part was when the practice was over and this woman's soothing voice telling be to carry on my loving-kindness mind for the remainder of the day when the track ends and my brilliant itunes shuffles to the next song containing the word "loving"... Of course it was Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself fo Loving You". It was pretty funny.
